Gus Macker's back

June 13, 2001

GAYLORD - A field of 575 teams and more than 2,300 players are expected for this weekend's Gus Macker tournament in downtown Gaylord. The Saturday and Sunday event attracts 3-on-3 players from across the state. This year's participation tops last year.

Up to 600 volunteers coordinate efforts to make the tournament happen. All proceeds above the expense of operating the tournament are designated for charity. Since 1990 the Gus Macker tourney has raised more than $400,000 for local charities.
